Street Encroachments

Revocable encroachment permits are required when any person desires to occupy any portion of a street, alley, sidewalk or other public place in connection with the erection or construction within the public right-of-way.

This also applies to any person desiring to erect a building, fence, barrier, post or other obstruction upon any street, avenue, alley, sidewalk, highway, public right-of-way or other public ground within the City.

A permit is required prior to constructing, removing or using any portion of the public right-of-way. Application forms for this type of permit may be obtained from room 146 of the Municipal Building, located at 5350 Pleasant Avenue.

If you would like additional information, please call 513-867-4200 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Large bushes, trees, fences and like obstructions that encroach upon the City right-of-way can cause difficulty when maneuvering around and through the City.
